We have acquired another company recently and since the users are in different domain there are issues on accessing resources. So management has decided to migrate the acquired domain with our existing one.

OK so we have a brandy new W2k8 R2 AD environment. We have created shares and given permissions to them to various people. We have a user that is attempting to access one of the mapped drives that he recieves through his login script. The mapped drive can be seen, the folders he has access to can be seen and navigated, however, trying to create anything or move files into that area gives us a "S:\ Location is not available" error.

What is weird is that this behavior is only on Windows 7. I have been through every post online for this error and cannot come up with something that works.

Don't mean to beat a dead horse but when you say you hve given them permissions is that both Share and NTFS permissions? Are they granted write access? Althoguh the error seems odd for it to be a permissions issue.

+1 For what Kelly said. One way to test it since you did say that user can browse to it is to make a file and then have them try to delete it. If they can not, be sure that you've set the correct share permissions as well as NTFS permissions.
